Chapter 951: Slaying the Human Ancestor!

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Calamity of All Races!

Zhou and his crew, from the moment they arrived, began planting thorns for Su Yu.

Should Qiong be allowed to leave or not?

One misstep, and it would be a huge mess.

Yet Su Yu said nothing, leaving it entirely to Qiong himself.

Now, at this very moment, with the great battle looming, whether Qiong left or not, Su Yu could neither stop him nor wished to; if he pressed too hard, they might become enemies.

Qiong’s gaze flickered.

He looked at Su Yu, who did not try to persuade him.

Then he glanced at Zhou and the others, who seemed quite sincere. Ji Tian smiled and said, “Qiong, go ahead!”

It was merely a coalition of interests!

Not indivisible, especially Qiong—how long had he even known Su Yu?

He was originally a man of the Heavenly Gate, not one who had fought alongside Su Yu to conquer the world. Severing ties with Qiong was simple, the easiest link in Su Yu’s camp to break.

The Human Emperor and the others wore grim expressions.

If Qiong left, according to the prior plan, the Lord of the Dead would have to face the two gates alone. If he could not hold out, he too might abandon the fight and flee.

Then… it would be a defeat and ruin!

At this moment, no one could leave; if one departed, it would spell trouble.

At that instant, Qiong looked at Su Yu, then at the others, gritting his teeth. Cang… that was what he wanted to obtain!

It was the key to perfecting the Sky-Spanning Sword!

And a shortcut to his own advancement.

The next moment, he clasped his hands toward Su Yu and the others: “I must go fetch it. Otherwise, if all three gates converge and truly crush Cang… then I’ll have no hope!”

Su Yu nodded slightly and said calmly, “Go if you wish. This was always a cooperation. As long as you don’t turn your blade against us, I, Su Yu, will not take offense over this!”

“Very well!”

Qiong exhaled, gripping his longsword—the sword of heaven-cleaving. He cast a glance at the opposing group and said in a low voice, “Make way!”

The Chaotic Long River lay behind them.

At that moment,

Ji Tian and the others revealed faint smiles. A 38-path strongman leaving now was a tremendous victory for them—before the battle even began, they had clipped one of Su Yu’s powerful wings.

Zhou and his men slightly opened a passage, but not too wide; they waited for Qiong to leave before dealing with Su Yu and the rest.

Since Su Yu was dead set on starting the fight now, so be it!

Qiong said nothing, lowered his head, and flew straight toward that direction!

Su Yu and his group stirred slightly, and Ji Tian and the others instantly went on alert.

At that moment, Qiong had already flown past, speaking with a hint of gloom: “Once I get Cang and perfect the Sky-Spanning Sword, I’ll come back to help you…”

Su Yu nodded slightly.

Qiong did not look back, pressing forward all the way.

Ji Tian and the others indeed did not block him—blocking would have made all their earlier efforts pointless, unnecessary.

Just as Qiong was about to fly out of their area, suddenly, the longsword in Jing Tian’s hand trembled. The next instant, a brilliant sword light burst from the blade, striking straight at Jing Tian himself!

The sword was being controlled!

And at that moment, Qiong spun around, slashing his sword at Jing Tian, roaring, “What are you waiting for?”

Su Yu and the others’ hearts stirred!

The next moment, they all struck!

Boom!

The group, disregarding any finesse, clashed directly with their great paths. A deafening, earth-shattering roar echoed across all realms!

In every direction, the colliding forces swept the world, and the entire region of the Earth Gate instantly turned into a black hole zone!

After the thunderous blast, a figure flew backward, spitting blood continuously!

The next moment, everyone retreated, both sides returning to their positions!

Qiong’s sword strike made Jing Tian vomit blood, and he swiftly cut through, rejoining Su Yu and the others!

Su Yu, without a word, raised his long blade and shouted, “Cut through!”

Boom!

The group struck again, unleashing their full power, instantly blasting open the passage they had yielded earlier. Under Su Yu’s lead, they charged swiftly toward the Chaotic Origin!

“Qiong!”

A cold shout rang out, Ji Tian’s voice icy: “You’ve made a foolish choice!”

Qiong’s sneering voice came back: “You’re the fool! Not to mention whether that place really holds Cang—even if it does, I wouldn’t cooperate with you idiots. How many strongmen did the Heavenly Gate have back then, and how many are left now? You fools want us all dead. Cooperate with you? Do you think I’m stupid?”

His flight over was just to find an opportunity to land a blow on Jing Tian!

Jing Tian was the best choice!

A sword user, weaker at 37 paths, not as deep as Ji Tian and the others, and less guarded.

Of course, this counterattack only lightly wounded Jing Tian.

But in a duel of experts, that slight difference often matters. A light wound, if mishandled, could lead to death!

The Heavenly Gate’s sigh also sounded: “Qiong, I thought, since we are both cultivators from the Age of Heaven-Opening, I would spare you. But it seems… you insist on seeking your own doom!”

“You lot have turned all realms into a filthy mess. To share an era with you is a disgrace!”

Qiong gave a cold shout!

The destruction of the Age of Heaven-Opening might have been orchestrated by these very people, with the Earth Gate and Heavenly Gate both seizing the chance to grow stronger. Remember, at the start, the Heavenly Gate was on par with them.

Kong was the first beast of heaven-opening, he was the first sword, Shi the first stone, and the Heavenly Gate the first man… The Heavenly Gate was not necessarily much stronger than them.

It was only during the war with the Earth Gate that he rose rapidly!

Perhaps he had long ago sold out the Age of Heaven-Opening!

“Enough nonsense!”

Su Yu bellowed, swiftly beginning to cut off his opponents. One by one, the strongmen erupted with their realms. The Lord of the Dead’s aura was boundless, his Dead Realm sweeping in, surging toward the Heavenly and Earth Gates!

King Wen and the others also manifested their realms.

At this moment, realms stood like forests.

This was likely the greatest gathering of heaven-openers in history—or rather, since the opening of heaven, all heaven-openers had converged here, except for that peculiar one, Lan Tian.

Su Yu, the Human Emperor, King Wen, Wen Yu, the Lord of the Dead, the Heavenly Gate, the Earth Gate, the Human Ancestor, and Yu.

Nine strongmen, all with their realms opened!

King Wen and his two companions, heaven and earth spinning, in an instant three great realms encircled, cutting Jingtian into their midst. They did not block Jitian, but when Jitian saw Jingtian surrounded by the three, his expression shifted instantly, and he swiftly rushed to Jingtian’s rescue!

The Human Emperor and his two allies were the first to complete the separation of Jingtian and Jitian!

Under the spinning of heaven and earth, the five instantly traversed the void, vanishing from this place in the blink of an eye!

King Wu sneered coldly, throwing a punch that made the Sun and Moon pair’s faces change slightly. King Wu’s blood energy surged like a dragon, sweeping across the world, and he too blasted relentlessly, cutting them apart!

The three instantly fought to the edge!

Dividing the battlefield!

At this moment, everyone shared this intent. In a battle of the mighty, chaos is most dangerous, especially when one does not know if an ally might turn and strike. It was not only Su Yu’s side that needed to split the battlefield; Jitian and the others felt the same!

The Heaven and Earth Gates acted, needing no guidance from the Lord of the Dead. The Gate of Heaven’s realm emerged, and the radiance of the Great Sun collided with the realm of the dead. With a thunderous roar, heaven and earth shifted, and when they reappeared, the two Gates and the Lord of the Dead had vanished.

Meanwhile, Qiong’s expression shifted slightly. He felt the Lord of the Dead might hold out for a while, so it would be better to first help Su Yu deal with these two!

“Go!”

At that moment, Su Yu gave a low shout. Qiong heard it, found it dazzling, hesitated briefly, but then vanished instantly, his sword qi surging through heaven and earth, charging toward the Heaven and Earth Gates!

…

Only at this moment did the others grasp Su Yu’s plan.

Su Yu would face the Prison King and the Human Ancestor!

Now, the Prison King’s realm emerged, dark and cold.

The Human Ancestor’s realm emerged, tinged with some light. The Human Ancestor primarily walked the path of the physical body, his blood energy abundant, and within his realm, that blood energy surged mightily.

These two Openers now encircled Su Yu as well.

Within the Prison King’s realm, laws were strict and solemn. At its center, a chain appeared—the Chain of Hell!

At the center of the Human Ancestor’s realm, a Longevity Bamboo appeared once more, not the one the Human Ancestor had before, but the core projection within the realm.

Zhou looked at Su Yu with a hint of strangeness. “Your strength seems to have grown a bit—quite rapid progress, and you’re very bold! You intend to take on me and the Prison?”

He glanced at the other fronts. King Wu’s side held the upper hand!

The Human Emperor’s side was evenly matched!

As for Qiong and the Lord of the Dead, they were at a disadvantage.

As for their own fight with Su Yu, it was still hard to judge. In such a short time, Su Yu’s side was already capable of a direct confrontation—the improvement in these people’s strength was truly astonishing!

Su Yu ignored him and instead looked at the Prison King.

This was also the first time Su Yu had seen the Prison King so clearly and so close.

Cold!

Or rather, indifferent!

It matched the Prison King Su Yu had imagined.

As for appearance, Su Yu cared little. The Prison King was quite beautiful, but no matter how lovely, in Su Yu’s eyes, she was just a pink skeleton. At his level, he paid no heed to such things.

Su Yu then looked at the Prison King’s realm—dark and cold, with a sense of strict order.

Su Yu did not act hastily. He simply looked at the Prison King and asked, “Was founding the Saint Clan your true intention, or was it Yue Hao and the others acting on their own?”

The Prison King was utterly calm: “My true intention! Humanity is rife with internal strife, too many ideas, emotion overriding law. I wished to establish a clan of strict law, to break away from humanity…”

Su Yu smiled and pointed at Zhou: “That doctrine of yours… was shattered just a few days ago!”

The Prison King was silent.

It was shattered!

To save Zhou and Tian, she had broken the law-over-emotion she herself preached.

“So, it’s all bullshit!”

Su Yu shook his head: “To kill a man, first destroy his heart. I must tell you, your nation of law, your clan of law—it’s all bullshit! At your core, you are selfish! No one can be unselfish! Saving Zhou and Tian is what a normal person does! Not saving them would be abnormal!”

Then Su Yu laughed: “The Human Emperor and the others don’t want to kill you, but I do! Though we’ve never met, your Saint Clan and I share a sea of enmity! My Many-Gods Literary faction, because of your lineage, has suffered countless deaths! Killing you today is also for the sake of the law you speak of!”

Zhou snorted coldly, “Su Yu, you speak arrogantly!”

Su Yu looked at Zhou: “You are just an afterthought!”

Su Yu smiled: “Zhou, you escaped once, but you won’t escape a second time!”

Boom!

A thunderous crash, and the Lord of the Dead bellowed: “Su Yu, what more nonsense are you spouting?”

Damn it!

Do you think Qiong and I can hold out?

At this moment, in the distance, three realms and a single longsword blazed across heaven and earth, shattering realms, splitting the void, shaking space, sweeping in all directions—and Su Yu was here blathering!

Su Yu smiled. At this moment, his aura gradually grew stronger, gradually erupted!

Thirty-seven paths, thirty-eight paths, all the way to thirty-nine paths!

A mighty aura shook the four directions!

At this moment, Jitian and the others finally understood just how strong Su Yu truly was, but the Earth Gate snorted coldly: “Merged with your future self? Playing with fire and self-destruction! Su Yu, you truly seek death!”

Su Yu’s power erupted to its peak in an instant. The old-timers like the Earth Gate saw at once how Su Yu had grown strong.

He had merged with his future self!

Thus, Su Yu had risen to thirty-nine paths—no wonder.

Fortunately, the Prison King and the Human Ancestor were not weak either—one at thirty-eight paths, the other at thirty-six.

Though Su Yu had reached thirty-nine paths, taking them both down was no simple matter!

And the Heaven and Earth Gates now both erupted with power close to thirty-nine or even forty paths!

The Lord of the Dead was managing, but Qiong’s sword qi was clearly being suppressed somewhat.

…

Su Yu paid no attention to the others, only watching them.

The next moment, a power of ten thousand paths gathered and converged. In an instant, the power of the Dao poured into his body. Su Yu transformed into a giant, and all seven hundred and twenty acupoints blazed with light!

He threw a punch!

Boom!

As soon as Su Yu struck, the Prison King had already acted. A chain shot toward Su Yu—not just one, but that single chain instantly multiplied into tens of thousands, as if to bind all of Su Yu’s Daos!

Every chain aimed to lock his acupoints!

Sealing heaven and earth, capturing the Daos of the acupoints!

Extremely targeted!

Meanwhile, the Human Ancestor erupted with his golden body, incomparably mighty. Had he merged with his own realm, he could have reached at least thirty-eight paths, but after Su Yu’s earlier harassment, his strength was now only maintained at thirty-six paths—yet far stronger than an ordinary thirty-six-path cultivator!

The two great powers joined forces, and though Su Yu was at thirty-nine paths, he could not gain the upper hand!

Su Yu threw a punch, shattering countless chains, but as those chains broke apart, countless more emerged once again.

At the same time, the Prison King's domain suddenly transformed into a ruler!

The Prison King held a chain in his left hand and a ruler in his right!

Arrest and punishment!

This was the Prison King's Dao!

The ruler came crashing down toward Su Yu, and the Prison King said coldly, "The law knows no mercy—I punish you for defying your superiors!"

"... Ridiculous!"

Su Yu let out a sneer. "If the law knows no mercy, then why is there still rank and hierarchy? Your Dao is full of holes. I wonder how your father taught you—no wonder he's still stuck at 36 Daos, a waste!"

With one sentence, he had insulted who knows how many people!

A thunderous boom rang out as Su Yu threw a punch, shattering the ruler. He spun around and struck again. At that moment, Zhou was holding a bamboo pole and swung it at Su Yu. Su Yu punched it as well, and the bamboo pole bent back, but then it curved instantly. With a *pfft*, the curved bamboo whipped across Su Yu's face!

A bloody mark was instantly slashed across his cheek!

Zhou's face was cold. Did Su Yu truly think himself invincible?

Su Yu felt a burning sting on his face and suddenly laughed. "That feels good!"

Zhou frowned slightly but said nothing. He and the Prison King immediately joined forces, attacking from front and back. Though Su Yu was strong, he was not gaining the upper hand at this moment.

Yet Su Yu was not in a hurry!

The two sides continued their fierce battle!

Su Yu's methods were simple. He knew many techniques, but now he fought with just a fist and a kick, using the most minimal approach against both opponents!

Every punch he threw unleashed ten thousand Daos simultaneously!

At the same time, a great seal suddenly appeared above Su Yu's head, radiating light. The image of the Heaven Overseer materialized, bathed in radiance, gathering the power of fortune!

This fortune power coalesced into a protective shield!

Su Yu sneered, "I gather the fortune of all realms—undying and indestructible. As long as the realms remain unbroken, I am immortal. Fighting me only leads to your death!"

Above his head, fortune converged!

The mighty fortune power, like a golden barrier, enveloped Su Yu. The Human Ancestor's expression shifted slightly as he looked at Su Yu and swung his bamboo pole again. But this time, the blow was blocked by the golden fortune shield, losing thirty percent or more of its force!

Su Yu easily repelled it!

He burst into laughter and immediately charged at the Human Ancestor!

With a thunderous crash, the Human Ancestor staggered back several steps. The Prison King swiftly intervened, halting Su Yu's pursuit!

The Human Ancestor steadied himself, his face cold.

"Su Yu, fortune... is not omnipotent! You must understand—I am the one who founded this era! I am the ancestor of humanity!"

"And you must also understand... that when the Human Emperor and others had great fortune, it was I who bestowed it upon them!"

His voice carried a chill. Su Yu had probably forgotten—he, too, belonged to this era!

Moreover, there were many things Su Yu simply did not understand!

The title "Human Ancestor" was not merely a name!

He was not a being from a past age; he existed in this very era, and this era was even created by him. As for the Dead Spirit Lord, who was also a remnant of the past, he had not led humanity to rise!

He was the master who opened this era!

"Fortune, return to me!"

With a low shout, the Heaven Overseer suddenly trembled violently. Streams of golden fortune power rapidly dispersed and flew toward the Human Ancestor—this was the fortune that Zhou Ji had once merged into his domain!

There was also the fortune of the Giant Clan!

Su Yu's expression changed. "Ji Tian?"

He abruptly looked into the distance. There, Ji Tian and his companion were locked in battle with the Human Emperor and the others. Sensing the shift, Ji Tian knew what was happening and said with a hint of amusement, "Old classmate, fortune is not omnipotent—I told you long ago. Success comes from fortune, and failure comes from fortune. You still haven't learned the lesson of the Human Emperor and the others!"

Boom!

A great crash echoed as Su Yu's fortune wavered. A massive amount of fortune power dissipated, absorbed by the Human Ancestor into his own body!

Zhou laughed. "Su Yu, do you truly believe you are the child of fortune in this era?"

"I am the one who led humanity to rise! Half of the fortune power in this era belongs to me!"

With a cold snort, the Heaven Overseer showed a pained expression!

A vast amount of fortune power was being stripped away!

Cracks began to appear on Su Yu's Human Sovereign Seal as great quantities of fortune leaked out!

Su Yu seemed to be struck by misfortune. As his fortune dissipated, mistakes that should not have occurred suddenly surfaced.

At that moment, he was pressing the Human Ancestor hard, but as the fortune power was drained, a mistake occurred in one of Su Yu's acupoints—someone seemed to have made an error, cutting off the flow of power from that point!

Boom!

The Prison King's ruler pierced through his defenses, leaving a wound on Su Yu's body so deep that the bone was visible!

Both the Human Ancestor and the Prison King showed faint traces of joy.

The backlash of fortune had manifested!

Su Yu's fortune power had been drained by them. Su Yu, who had always been extraordinarily lucky, was about to face his comeuppance today.

Just like the Human Emperor back then!

The fortune of these few had fluctuated, and soon, a great upheaval occurred. Clearly, the fortune fluctuations of that time were related to the Human Ancestor and his kind—because he was the one who founded this era!

The fortune of this era could not escape the Human Ancestor!

Su Yu's face was stern, carrying a cold edge. Gritting his teeth, he let out a furious roar and madly charged at the Human Ancestor. The Prison King kept blocking him, while the Human Ancestor continued to drain Su Yu's fortune power!

The Heaven Overseer howled in agony, seated within the Human Sovereign Seal, but it was still collapsing!

Unable to bear it any longer, the Heaven Overseer roared, "Your Majesty, stabilize the fortune!"

The fortune was dissipating too quickly!

If this continued, once the fortune completely collapsed, Su Yu might face a terrible calamity!

In the distance, the Human Emperor also shouted angrily, "Su Yu, stabilize the fortune! Quickly!"

He had suffered such a loss before!

A great loss!

Back then, it had been the same—his fortune had begun to dissipate. But at that time, his fortune was not as strong as Su Yu's. As his fortune crumbled, he soon met with extreme misfortune, was ambushed, and nearly fell!

At that time, he was already a top-tier expert with 35 Daos.

Yet even he could not prevent it from happening!

And at this very moment, something even more unfortunate occurred. In the distance, a soft sigh echoed, and a figure suddenly appeared, carrying a hint of regret.

This person's strength was not too great—31 Daos.

Now, dressed in a long robe, he materialized between heaven and earth, sighing with regret. Suddenly, his blood energy surged, and streaks of blood appeared before him. One of them seemed to connect to Su Yu, while the other two connected to Wen Wang and Wen Yu.

Wen!

At that moment, King Wen also sensed it, his face instantly changing as he roared in fury: “Wen, you are the ancestor of our lineage—would you aid the tyrant?”

Wen’s sigh sounded again: “To jointly resist the Human Gate—that is what we must do. Wen, it is not that I wish to kill Su Yu, but… he has long been mad, bent on destroying the alliance against the Human Gate… obstinate and unyielding, ceaselessly slaying the strong who resist the Human Gate… if this continues, the world will know no peace!”

King Wen bellowed: “Bastard! You lot changed long ago—how dare you!”

Wen was not powerful, but at this moment, as Su Yu’s fortune dissipated, Wen could play a significant role.

Sure enough, Wen coughed blood unceasingly, his fingers constantly moving, as a trail of blood spread across heaven and earth, stretching toward Su Yu—upon that blood trail, black appeared.

The aura of black annihilation!

And within Su Yu’s body, a faint pulse of bloodline power stirred. On an ordinary day, such a bloodline pulse would have little effect—he and Wen were separated by countless years, countless generations!

The influence of bloodline was actually very slight.

But now, as Su Yu fought fiercely against his foes and his fortune continued to scatter, any small problem could escalate into a great one!

Sure enough, with a thunderous crash, Su Yu’s physical form suddenly trembled, the erupting power of law abruptly collapsing, carrying chunks of flesh and blood flying—his arm shattered by Prison King’s ruler, flesh and blood exploding!

Su Yu let out a muffled groan!

At this moment, it seemed all misfortunes converged upon Su Yu. In the distance, Wen coughed blood without end—Su Yu was too strong; influencing him was immensely difficult!

Yet now, he had still managed it.

“Su Yu… everyone long guessed you would come. Today, though it seems you launched the attack, it is we who awaited you to walk into the trap!”

Wen sighed once more: “My bloodline descendants—three of you appeared, truly remarkable… but why are you so stubborn, so insane?”

King Wen and Wen Yu both roared in fury, their rage boundless!

At this moment, Wen using bloodline to influence Su Yu was nothing short of kicking a man when he was down. He could not influence King Wen or Wen Yu, for bloodline influence was not the key—the key was that with Su Yu’s fortune dissipating, everything he did would go awry!

Wen had become the final straw that broke Su Yu’s back!

And Su Yu, his face pale, while the Marquis of Heaven’s Oversight still shrieked bitterly, and the Human Ancestor ceaselessly drained Su Yu’s fortune with a trace of coldness.

Su Yu wanted to kill them, and they wanted to kill Su Yu.

Su Yu was the core figure of this alliance!

To kill Su Yu, they had plotted for a long time. If Qiong had left this time, so much the better—then Heavenly Gate would have joined the attack on Su Yu. Unfortunately, Qiong did not leave, but that was still within their plans; it was not a collapse of the scheme.

Only Su Yu had grown too much—had it not been for that, Su Yu at the 36th path might already have been slain!

Zhou had absorbed a vast amount of fortune power and now rode a wave of auspicious energy.

And at this moment, Su Yu suddenly grew somewhat frenzied, carrying anger and despair, and roared: “Wen, I had no intention of bothering with you, but you are courting death. A mere 31st-path—do you think you can deal with me?”

Su Yu’s blood and qi erupted abruptly, and drops of essence blood appeared!

Among them, a few exuded an aura very similar to Wen’s!

Su Yu shouted fiercely: “You think you can influence me? I’ll give your bloodline back to you!”

Boom!

Those few drops of essence blood suddenly turned black, and the black blood vanished instantly, following the path of blood and qi that Wen had used to influence Su Yu, and shot toward Wen in attack!

Wen’s face changed slightly!

The next moment, however, he regained his calm: “Su Yu, you still do not understand. Killing you is a righteous act. If you kill me… you are doomed to fall even faster.”

As the words fell, a surge of black blood invaded!

Boom!

Wen’s flesh was corroded, shattered, and he vomited blood endlessly!

How powerful was Su Yu’s essence blood!

Wen was not a transcendent—merely at the 31st path—and in the blink of an eye, his flesh and blood broke apart!

Bones snapped inch by inch!

And Su Yu, because his essence blood had dissipated, grew weaker, and an opportunity was seized—Prison King’s chain pierced directly through Su Yu’s shoulder blade, clattering violently as it locked onto the bone!

The intense pain made Su Yu roar, yet he remained utterly frenzied, his bloodline still raging—boom!

Another thunderous sound rang out!

Wen was torn into four pieces!

Completely exploded!

Even his great path was instantly overrun by the black blood, eroded directly, and the path snapped!

The Human Ancestor and Prison King also changed expression slightly—this fellow was truly ruthless!

Surrounded and killed by two, already perilous beyond measure, he still disregarded everything, ignoring his own decline in strength, and used bloodline backlash to slay Wen with his formidable power!

Yes, a 31st-path cultivator, using bloodline influence against Su Yu—under normal circumstances, almost impossible. As for now, if Su Yu had sought to save his own life, he could not have retaliated.

But Su Yu, utterly heedless, bore the assault of both enemies and still killed Wen!

This ruthlessness made even Zhou and the others deeply wary!

Su Yu was too ruthless!

A 31st-path cultivator—Su Yu could kill him at any time. If he won, he could kill him later; if he lost, nothing would matter, and killing or not killing was irrelevant. Yet this fellow, at this very moment, chose to counter-kill Wen!

This was something none had anticipated!

Even Wen Yu and King Wen felt a shock in their hearts!

This Su Yu—truly ruthless!

At such a critical juncture, he still chose to kill Wen!

As for Wen, Xing, and the like—dead or alive, it mattered not. The Human Emperor had long said they were not of the same era, no longer on the same path. Xing and Wen had followed Heavenly Gate, their allegiance bone-deep!

Thus, of the eight division leaders, Chen had long died, some origin energies had revived, and now followed Su Yu.

Wen was slain on the spot!

Xing—whether dead or sealed by the Human Emperor—Su Yu did not ask, nor did he care.

Zhou and Tian were now one; Sun and Moon were locked in battle with Martial King. As for Ming among the eight divisions, Su Yu had never seen him, and he paid no heed.

Having killed Wen, Su Yu was gravely wounded!

By now, at least seventy percent of the fortune power had been absorbed by Zhou. Zhou rode a wave of auspicious energy, as if everything went his way, his flesh trembling, even showing signs of advancement!

If he smoothly entered the 37th path, he could control it—the impact would be minor, only making him stronger!

But if he skipped the 37th path and directly entered the 38th, the boost would be too great at this moment, and problems would arise. Still, it was unlikely—almost impossible to suddenly leap into the 38th path for no reason!

And Su Yu, though appearing frenzied, was now calm to the extreme!

Fortune being drained!

Nonsense—if I hadn’t brought out the Human Sovereign Seal, if I hadn’t revealed the Marquis of Heaven’s Oversight, you might never have thought of this. Since I brought them out, it was precisely to let you drain them!

Fortune like a rainbow!

Everything goes as wished!

I'll add more fuel to your fire, and you'll go smoother, more fortunate—fortune arrives, and you'll leap forward in an instant!

This trick, Su Yu learned from the Nether Sovereign.

The Nether Sovereign is one of the very few, perhaps the only one, who could escape a certain death trap under Su Yu's siege!

Among the myriad races, some may seem weak now, but their methods, ideas, and experiences are worth Su Yu learning from.

Since I can't beat you, or it's hard to fight you, I'll elevate you, greatly elevate you, and make you suddenly drunk with blessing!

The Human Ancestor... the ancestor of humanity!

Or rather, the ancestor of humanity in this era, who can draw Su Yu's fortune, representing that he hasn't severed ties with humanity, unlike the Heavenly Gate, which, after an era, has long been split apart!

The Human Ancestor could have severed ties himself, but to control humanity, to control the fortunes of the Human Emperor and Su Yu, he chose not to cut off the connection—otherwise, he couldn't extract the fortunes of Su Yu and the Human Emperor!

There might have been a long-laid plan against Su Yu!

Back then, the fortune of the Giant Clan merged into Su Yu's world—that was Zhou Ji's doing. But Su Yu didn't really care about fortune; he split it several times, otherwise, this time when fortune was drawn away, he would have been very unlucky!

The stronger the fortune, the stronger the backlash!

If Su Yu hadn't split his fortune, and now suddenly suffered backlash, he might even explode!

Sometimes, these things aren't necessarily good.

Su Yu thought to himself, and the Great Path began to ripple faintly.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Human Realm.

Hundreds of millions of humans gathered.

The Human Realm had long been completely sealed off by Su Yu and the others.

At this moment, all 36 Domain Lords were present.

Xia Huyou hovered high in the sky.

Now, in the center of the hundreds of millions of humans, stood a statue, identical in appearance to the Human Ancestor.

At this moment, the statue suddenly emitted a faint radiance.

Xia Huyou's eyes shifted, and he roared: "Empty your minds! Be devout!"

Humanity, after years of war, with countless soldiers, still had top-notch execution—they all closed their eyes and emptied their minds.

Xia Huyou roared again: "Everyone, silently recite with me: Thank the Human Ancestor for clearing the thorns and helping humanity reach the top of all realms!"

Everyone silently recited in their hearts, and streams of fortune and faith surged into the statue.

Xia Huyou roared once more: "Remember the Human Ancestor for opening heaven and earth, opening an era, strengthening humanity, and sacrificing for our race—humanity reveres him..."

Everyone silently recited, and streams of fortune, like long dragons, wildly swept and instantly poured into the statue.

At that moment, the statue seemed alive!

Xia Huyou kept roaring, waiting for the statue to connect with the Human Ancestor.

...

Meanwhile.

The Human Ancestor's fortune grew stronger and stronger, terrifyingly strong!

It seemed all the fortune of the era had gathered upon him. The Human Ancestor's aura trembled slightly; Su Yu's fortune had been drawn away by more than eighty percent!

He was rejoicing, excited, when suddenly, a force of fortune descended like a gift from heaven!

Not only that, but it also carried the faith of billions of beings, instantly surging into him, unstoppable—this force of faith, of mortal will, of fortune, almost in the blink of an eye, flooded into his body!

The faith of billions of beings exploded in his mind, countless voices rising.

"Thank the Human Ancestor, revered by all..."

The Human Ancestor was dazed; this was billions of beings reciting his merits, praying for him, blessing him, believing in him, worshipping him!

But...

His thoughts grew chaotic, his aura surged instantly, but his mind was scattered by the impact!

On a normal day, he would have been thrilled!

Because the benefit he gained this time was enormous—so huge that once he came to his senses and brewed it a bit, he might enter the 38th Path, or even step into a stronger domain!

But now... he was in the midst of battle!

His opponent was Su Yu, a 39th Path being!

At this moment, the Prison King also noticed his anomaly, and her face changed abruptly!

Now, the Human Ancestor's world was rapidly expanding, fortune forming a colossal dragon, even the Heaven within the world, the spirit of heaven and earth, seemed stuffed!

For a moment, its eyes were also dazed!

And Zhou, too, closed his eyes, enjoying something—that feeling of universal faith, that ecstasy of rapid elevation, made him unable to break free for a time!

But Prison's face changed drastically!

She suddenly looked at Su Yu, and the next moment, no longer calm, she roared: "Father!"

"Wake up!"

At this critical juncture, in the heat of battle, Zhou had fallen into this state—it was suicide!

No matter how unlucky Su Yu was, he was still a top-tier 39th Path existence!

She charged madly at Su Yu, but Su Yu had waited so long for this moment; he wouldn't give the Prison King a chance. He had been adjusting all along, and now the Prison King, dragging her chains, was still some distance away.

And Zhou was right in front of him!

Su Yu sighed: "Fortune... is not omnipotent!"

How many times have I said it? Why does no one believe it?

You've absorbed so much fortune—feeling good, aren't you?

At this moment, Su Yu, who had seemed somewhat weak before, suddenly erupted with overwhelming power—39th Path is 39th Path!

Stronger than you!

Even if I were weaker, I could win; how much more so when I'm stronger!

Zhou's aura was rapidly strengthening—good thing, maybe I'll gain a 38th Path world!

With a thunderous crash, the Human Sovereign Seal suddenly exploded, and with a boom, it smashed the Heaven, which had been stunned by absorbing massive power, into pieces!

Boom!

Heaven and earth convulsed!

Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, a look of horror appeared in them, along with some panic!

But at that instant, a grand sound echoed across heaven and earth!

“Please, let the Human Ancestor descend!”

That was a roar from the Human Realm!

The Human Ancestor suddenly felt his power being pulled, tugged toward the Human Realm!

Success due to humanity, failure due to humanity!

At this moment, humanity actually collectively summoned him to descend to the Human Realm—damn it, what a joke, at this moment, he absolutely could not descend!

His power erupted into turmoil!

Division!

The already fluctuating power instantly weakened to the extreme!

And Su Yu, a long blade already appearing in his hand, said coldly, “Send the Human Ancestor to heaven!”

Boom!

One slash cut through heaven and earth, cut through the firmament, cut through the four directions!

The Human Ancestor was directly split in two by that blade!

Heaven and earth were instantly cleaved in half, the Sea of Will emerged, roaring madly, yet its life force was extinguished by the blade!

The aura of death swept away!

Rumble!

Heaven and earth collapsed, the Great Dao shattered, the phantom of the Eternal Bamboo broke apart!

In almost the blink of an eye, the Human Ancestor and the Prison King, who had just been gaining the upper hand, saw the Human Ancestor’s heaven and earth collapse, and with one slash, Su Yu directly slew the Human Ancestor on the spot!

His physical body split in two, devoid of any life!

Heaven and earth shattered, the Great Dao in chaos, the Seal of the Human Sovereign swept forth, enveloping heaven and earth, the Sea of Will was severed!

The phantom of the Human Ancestor appeared, with some bewilderment, suddenly turning his head to look at the Human Realm!

“Water can carry a boat, but also overturn it!”

A murmur, of unspeakable helplessness and sorrow!

He succeeded because of humanity, and failed because of humanity!

At this moment... he, the Ancestor of Humanity, was truly betrayed and killed by those weak beings of humanity!

“No!”

The Prison King let out a piercing roar that resounded through heaven and earth!

The other parties also fell silent for a moment!

Zhou... was killed!

Unexpected!
